> Most people like socializing

Debatable at best.

> and benefit from it

Again, debatable.

> may work when you're in college

Yeah it doesn't. I still need to go to classes, do hw and what not which really cuts into my reading time.

> Not everyone is like you

Right, maybe let's setup a system that can cater to people according to their needs, how about that.

> I personally know very few people who enjoy educating themselves (let alone children and teenagers)

That's because their only experience with education is sitting in a classroom for 6 hours a day talking about dumb stuff someone once upon a time deemed to be worthwhile to be a part of education.

> They just don't scale to millions whichever way you look at it

Unless you've tried it, don't say it doesn't work.
